VxVM does not work in guest domains. Veritas is working on it & new VAD (veritas application director) release is coming out on Sept 2008 which would support LDoms.

I thought yes but after rereading the doc regarding LDoms and Veritas storage foundation from Symantec I'm not sure anymore. And my tests until now were also not successfull: After installing VxVM in a Guest LDom VxVM does not see the disks (format does see the disks; one disk of the disks of the guest ldom is based on a file in the primary LDom and the other disk is based on a SAN LUN) If VxVM should run in a Guest LDom - where should I continue searching the reason for the not working VxVM? Our environment is: Solaris 10 Update 5, ldm 1.0.3, and VxVM 5.0 + MP1 I already asked our Symantec representive about this issue but did not get any answer from them until now. It seems that Veritas Storage Foundation & LDoms is not a common used combination If anybody is using VCS and LDoms I would be glad to share some thoughts and experiences. regards Bernd -- Bernd Schemmer, Frankfurt am Main, Germany http://home.arcor.de/bnsmb/index.html M s temprano que tarde el mundo cambiar .

We have helped Veritas investigate problems VxVM was having with virtual disks, so I suppose they are working on a new release of VxVM that will work in LDoms guest domains, but I was unable to get any schedule when this will be available. So you need to get back to Veritas if you need more information. alex.
